New insights for materials science characterisation using different complementary techniques combined with X-ray absorption Spectroscopy

2005

The combination of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopies or with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been recently carried out on the D44 beamline of DCI-LURE. The different set-ups used to perform such combinations are described and examples of combined investigations belonging to different field of materials science (coordination chemistry, sol-gel and catalysis) are presented.

Sorting of Enhanced Reference Raman Spectra of a Single Amino Acid Molecule

2014

In this contribution, we report the identification of the principal reference Raman spectra of a single cystein molecule. To that purpose, we design an active Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) template based on surfactant-less Chebyshev nanoparticles operating in a microfluidic platform. A principal component analysis is obtained from fluctuating spectra to sort the reference spectra of cystein. The assignment of Raman bands brings new insight into the conformation of an amino acid adsorbed onto gold nanoparticle.

Interactions between cationic amylose derivatives and a pulp fiber model surface studied by molecular modelling

2007

This study was performed in order to obtain more information about the interactions between pulp fibers and acetylated cationic starch derivatives on a molecular scale. The adsorption of the polymers on the fiber surface was studied by simulating polymers on a fiber model surface at 300 K. Fractional atomic coordinates of regenerated cellulose II were used to generate a cellulose fiber surface model. Carboxylate groups were added on the cellulose surface to represent the anionic charge of pulp fiber which originates from hemicelluloses. Amylose chains cationized and acetylated atom by atom were chosen to represent four different starch derivatives. Atomic charges used in simulations were ca…

Polymer Retention Mechanism in GPC on Active Gels

1980

Abstract The elution behaviour of low molecular weight polystyrene (PS) down to the monomer on spherosil gel in several eluents has been studied. In the medium range of molecular weights the elution behaviour is similar to that followed by high molecular weight PS, the differences in elution volumes among different eluents increasing monotonically with decreasing molecular weight and partition rather than adsorption probably being responsible for the shifts in retention volumes. However, at the total permeation limit, the situation is alike to that found in liquid-solid chromatography, the elution volumes of solutes with molecular sizes very close to that of styrene being determined by solv…

A tetramethoxybenzophenone as efficient triplet photocatalyst for the transformation of diazo compounds.

2007

The aromatic ketone 2,2',4,4'-tetramethoxybenzophenone has a strong absorption band between 300 and 375 nm, and its pi,pi* triplet excited-state is selectively populated in methanol. Both facts make this aromatic ketone a versatile and efficient triplet photocatalyst for the transformation of alpha-diazo carbonyl compounds into mainly the cyclopropanation product.

Photoelectrical properties of indandione fragment containing azobenzene compounds

2014

Organic materials are becoming more popular due to their potential application in electronics. Low molecular weight materials possible produce from solution are in special consideration. It gives the possibility to avoid both thermal evaporation in vacuum, and use of polymers in thin film preparation process. Indandione fragment containing azobenzene compounds are one of such materials. These compounds are good candidates for use in design of novel molecular electronic devices due to their possibility to form amorphous structure from solution thus allowing developing flexible, small size systems with low production costs. In this work three indandione fragment containing azobenzene compound…

Preparation and mechanical characterization of fibres from a new copoly(ether-ester-amide) are reported. The mechanical characteristics are slightly lower than those of polyamide 6, but satisfactory for textile use, and the fibres have larger moisture absorption. This gives rise to more comfortable fibres preventing the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Die Herstellung und mechanische Charakterisierung von Fasern aus einem neuen Copoly(ether-ester-amid) werden beschrieben. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften sind etwas schlechter als die von Polyamid 6, aber ausreichend fur textile Anwendungen. Die Fasern weisen eine grosere Feuchtigkeitsabsorption auf. Dies fuhrt zu einem angenehmeren Verh…

Synthesis, optical, and thermal properties of glassy trityl group containing luminescent derivatives of 2-tert-butyl-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one

2012

In this work we present simple preparation of original trityl group containing glassy luminescent 6-styryl substituted derivatives of 2-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)malononitrile (DWK-1TB), 2-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)-2- ethyl-2-cyanoacetate (KWK-1TB), 2-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (ZWK-1TB) and 5-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (JWK-1TB). Their optical properties have been investigated. The absorption maxima of synthesized glasses is in region from 425 nm to 515 nm and emission maxima is from 470 nm to 625 nm in solution of dichloromethane. But absorption maxima of their solid films is from 425 nm to 500 nm and em…
